Comments: 1  Our bantams go to bed well over an hour earlier than the ex-batts, usually while itâs still light! 2  This info couldnât have come at a better time. 3  One thing Iâve noticed over my many years of keeping chickens is that the birds on the low end of the pecking order seem to go to roost earlier than the top birds.
Plasma protein tests are blood tests that detect the amount of proteins in the blood. Such lab work is often ordered as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) during a physical exam. This screening tool can help a doctor determine your overall health.
Specifically, the test checks for albumin levels and total protein levels. 1  Albumin: Albumin is a small protein made in the liver that constitutes the major protein in blood serum. 2  Total Protein: In addition to albumin, your blood serum also contains a protein called globulin. In fact, globulin is actually a class of proteins that includes enzymes, antibodies, and hundreds of other proteins. A total protein test measures the combined amount of these proteins in your blood.
